Our Programs

Helping the United Nations Help the World

Join one of the oldest U.N. Advocacy Chapters in the World!

Take part in an organization that is one of the fastest growing and most active chapters in the United States. We are proud of our diverse and engaged leadership team that counts eighteen dedicated individuals, averaging fourty-five years of age. Together with our Advisory Board and Youth Advisory Board, we actively seek to connect organizations, amplify efforts and catalyze actions to support the work of the United Nations.

Our Mission – Promoting Engagement with the United Nations –has at its very core the understanding of and advocacy for a strong
U.S. leadership within the United Nations.

Our Working Groups and Committees host free-of-charge community events focused on timely international subjects. With our local collaborations and partnerships, we connect the work of the U.N. with our national and local realities, while advocating for global citizenship with our municipal and congressional representatives.

With your membership you support – and if you desire can take an active part in – our programs and initiatives. Our members enjoy the benefits that come with our Consultative Status with the U.N. Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC). As an accredited NGO we provide the opportunity for our members to partake in any U.N. conferences open to NGOs worldwide as an official delegate… and last but not least, the our U.N. Gift Shop on the ground floor of our office building in Balboa Park provides our members a 20% discount on all purchases!
